• CVE-2026-23135Feb 14, 2026
  risk 0.00cvss —epss 0.00

  In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix dma_free_coherent() pointer dma_alloc_coherent() allocates a DMA mapped buffer and stores the addresses in XXX_unaligned fields. Those should be reused when freeing the buffer rather than the aligned addresses.

• CVE-2023-54016Dec 24, 2025
  risk 0.00cvss —epss 0.00

  In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Fix memory leak in rx_desc and tx_desc Currently when ath12k_dp_cc_desc_init() is called we allocate memory to rx_descs and tx_descs. In ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup(), during descriptor cleanup rx_descs and tx_descs memory is not freed. This is cause of memory leak. These allocated memory should be freed in ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup. In ath12k_dp_cc_desc_init(), we can save base address of rx_descs and tx_descs. In ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup(), we can free rx_descs and tx_descs memory using their base address. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

• CVE-2023-53767Dec 8, 2025
  risk 0.00cvss —epss 0.00

  In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work() Currently the buffer pointed by event is not freed in case ATH12K_FLAG_UNREGISTERING bit is set, this causes memory leak. Add a goto skip instead of return, to ensure event and all the list entries are freed properly. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

• CVE-2025-40131Nov 12, 2025
  risk 0.00cvss —epss 0.00

  In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Fix peer lookup in ath12k_dp_mon_rx_deliver_msdu() In ath12k_dp_mon_rx_deliver_msdu(), peer lookup fails because rxcb->peer_id is not updated with a valid value. This is expected in monitor mode, where RX frames bypass the regular RX descriptor path that typically sets rxcb->peer_id. As a result, the peer is NULL, and link_id and link_valid fields in the RX status are not populated. This leads to a WARN_ON in mac80211 when it receives data frame from an associated station with invalid link_id. Fix this potential issue by using ppduinfo->peer_id, which holds the correct peer id for the received frame. This ensures that the peer is correctly found and the associated link metadata is updated accordingly. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

• CVE-2025-39890Sep 24, 2025
  risk 0.00cvss —epss 0.00

  In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_service_ready_ext_event Currently, in ath12k_service_ready_ext_event(), svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps is not freed in the failure case, causing a memory leak.
